This weekend I decided to try my hand at something I haven&#8217;t really done in probably 15 years:  The Still-Life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now when I tried still life many years ago I didn&#8217;t have access to the lighting setups I have now, but I have forgotten so much about flash photography that I spent most of this weekend trying to figure out proper exposures and how to get the flash to do what I wanted it to.  I also have a video light with an optical spot which is how I got the window shadows in the background.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the second picture from my still-life experiment that I tried to process.  The first was ok, but it was not what I was envisioning.  It had a butterfly and because of the color of a butterfly, I didn&#8217;t think it lent itself to black and white.  Consequently, I tried to process it in color, with a brick background and it was just not working for me.  I almost gave up on the whole thing but decided to try again and am much more pleased with this one.  Tell me, what do you think?<\/p>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"663\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi folks, and welcome back!
